"(Baby I've Got You) On My Mind" (also known simply as "On My Mind") is a song on Powderfinger's fifth studio album Vulture Street. It was released as a single in 2003 and reached #9 on the Australian music chart, the band's third highest charting single to date.

Background

After two albums of Powderfinger releasing singles that were either acoustic anthems (such as "My Happiness") or ballads ("The Metre" or "The Day You Come"), Powderfinger decided to release a heavy rock song as their new album, Vulture Street's lead single. In accordance with this, the band's publicity was geared towards a more rock oriented slant, with magazine covers and articles indicating that they were "returning to rock," alluding to the rock albums Parables for Wooden Ears and the highly successful Double Allergic1, however some criticism was that the band's "rock" sound was different from previous releases, indicating that they were trying to be more like AC/DC than previously. Although the single for the song was released under the title of "On My Mind," the album cover has the song's title printed as "(Baby I've Got You) On My Mind." It is alleged that Bernard Fanning implicitly wrote the lyrics as a tribute to former radio and television personality John Burgess.

The album's artwork is of a painted ship entitled "On My Mind". The design style of the cover and case is in the same style as the other singles from Vulture Street, however all are very different from the album itself, except for the use of highly contrasting colours.

Music video

The music video for "On My Mind" was directed by Scott Walton.2 The video, like the group's previous single "Like a Dog", was filmed in black and white.2
